With a dial-up connection... Is there any hardware firewalls that use regular phone lines? I havent seen any. The article was more for broadband connections because of the problem of having a static IP. --- James Patterson Wicks <pwicks () oxygen com> wrote:
This are the exact words from the article in question: "If you have a stand-alone computer or connect to the Internet with a dial-up connection, a software firewall is the right choice. In fact, Windows XP includes Internet Connection Firewall. A hardware firewall is more complex to configure, but once you get it set up, it runs on its own to protect your network. Combined with ICF or a third-party software-based firewall, you've got maximum security for your network. Whichever you choose, you'll find using the Internet much more enjoyable when you're nestled safely behind a firewall" That's a far cry from "urging users to buy hardware firewalls."
